بخش ۵۱ - حکایت روباه و روباه بچه / Section 51 - The Tale of the Fox and the Fox Cub

Original content

گفت با روباه بچه مادرش
چون به باغ میوه آمد رهبرش

میوه چندان خور که بتوانی به تگ
رستگاری یافتن ز آسیب سگ

گفت ای مادر چو بینم میوه را
کی توانم کار بست این شیوه را

حرص میوه پرده هوشم شود
وز گزند سگ فراموشم شود

English translation

Its mother said to the fox cub, When she led him into a fruit garden: 'Eat only as much fruit as will still allow you, by running, To find salvation from the harm of the dog.' He replied, 'O mother, when I see the fruit, How can I practice this method? Greed for the fruit becomes a veil over my intellect, And I completely forget the harm of the dog.'
